Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s civilian infrastructure on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, labeling them as a violation of international law and acts of "terrorism."

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the next round of ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Iran is likely to be held in Islamabad, Pakistan.

She emphasized that President Donald Trump views Pakistan as the sole and most vital mediator in this process, despite offers of assistance from other nations.

This upcoming dialogue aims to build upon previous efforts to de-escalate the conflict that has intensified since the joint military operations began in late February.
